base-commit: 07e27ad16399afcd693be20211b0dfae63e0615f
this is the commit of tag: v6.17-rc7 on the mainline.
This patch series is intended to make a base for setting
queue_index in the xdp_rxq_info struct in bpf/cpumap.c to
the right index. Although that part I still didn't figure
out yet,I m searching for my guidance to do that as well
as for the correctness of the patches in this series.


I don't really understand what queue_index means for the cpu map. It is
a kernel thread doing work, there is no queue. Maybe whoever added
the todo can clarify?

Hi Lorenzo,
Can you help us clarify the todo added in cpu_map_bpf_prog_run_xdp() in this commit: github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/9216477449f33cdbc9c9a99d49f500b7fbb81702 ?

Mehdi
